Vernagt - Vernago

Among the settlements of South Tyrol, Vernagt–Vernago stands out for its position beside the Vernagt Reservoir in the upper Schnalstal valley. The lake is an artificial reservoir, held by a dam completed in the early 1950s; it altered the original settlement area and gives the valley a distinct waterside character. Above it rise the Ötztal Alps, while the wider Val Senales is associated with high Alpine farming and routes towards glacier country near the Austrian border. Vernagt–Vernago belongs to the municipality of Senales/Schnals, where German and Italian place names reflect South Tyrol’s bilingual public life.
